While your contrast is epic, you should play more with shading, it's just too damn grainy.
Good stuff as always, cheers!
I had quite a few problems to solve with Extinction, and not everything turned out how I wanted. The idea was to make a T-rex head, but once I got into drawing it I had to decide whether to make it look like a T-rex putting its eyes on the sides, or to make the front look more recognizable. I didn't go one way or the other so it turned out messy, the mapping isn't the best since I'm not familiar with that kind of dinosaur stuff.
About shading, I'm specifically going for that kind of grainy look, it makes the texture look like an old crappy black and white photograph. It adds a certain degree of realism if done correctly and it goes hand in hand with horror stuff. However I could try to tone it down a bit and shade it more on certain surfaces if I see that it doesn't fit, it's mainly up to a person's taste how much grainy is too much grainy.
